Stage 1 remapping in Macclesfield
Macclesfield relies on A-roads: the A537, A523, A536 and A538 make up its main road list, and the nearest motorway service area, Knutsford Services on the M6, is 18.4 km away. For a car that covers most of its miles on roads like these, Stage 1 remapping is about overtaking slower traffic and pulling cleanly out of bends and junctions. Only the software changes: the fuel, boost and timing settings are revised within the engine's limits, and nothing is bolted on. On a diesel, the mid-range torque gain means fewer downshifts. A remap file matched to the vehicle is used, and any fault is repaired first.
